Apollyon by Jennifer Armentrout Review

Apollyon by Jennifer Armentrout

★★★★★

Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the
Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger
than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex
herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire
cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the
all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only
problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t
be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the
destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the
Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow
returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming
the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Alex has discovered how special she really is; not only is
she a half-blood, but she is also an Apollyon. Alex had to rise to new challenges
and had to face many of her fears. Even when she didn’t believe in herself, she
had people around her that did -- especially Aiden. Her world is crumbling down
around her. Will she make it out alive?

Jennifer Armentrout has done it again -- her books are like
a bad drug addiction. Just like every book of hers that I have finished -- in
this series and the Lux series -- I have been left craving more. Without
another one to read, I go instantly into withdrawals. I have no idea how I’m
going to wait for the conclusion to this amazing series. She seriously makes me
feel like a crazed junkie. Thankfully, she writes fast and publishes books
fairly faster than other authors.

The characters are pushed even farther in this book. There
are a lot of holy crap moments and some great action scenes. This book was
intense, to say the least; and I don’t want to give too much away, especially
to people who haven’t read this series yet. I’m terrified for the next book to
see how this all ends up, and I know I will be sad to say goodbye to this world
and these amazing characters that have found a permanent place in my heart.

This is one of my favorite series, and I highly recommend
it! You won’t be able to put these books down until you finish them. I have to
go back to read the other ones to review them because I couldn’t stop reading
them to review them, and I don’t want to accidentally mix up what happened in
each specific book. It is a great series for readers of any age.

I received this book from the publisher, Spencer Hill Press, for review. Thank you Spencer Hill Press!

I loved this book, and this series is just fantastic. I'm with you, when I have to wait for the next one I feel like I'm in withdrawal! Wonderful review, you did a great job of keeping it spoiler free. I know it's hard when you want to talk about all the feels! :-)

I'm glad you loved this book and series! I agree with you. Thank you, I tried! There was so much I wanted to say but for people who haven't read the series at all yet I would give stuff away. Thank you for the comment!

Thank you so much for all of your comments. I appreciate every one. I try to comment back to every one it just may take me a while. College student=busy! when you leave links I try to visit, depending on how crazy it is I may not have a chance to go comment on your blog. Please don't take offense! A lot of the time I mean to go back and forget because life is crazy.
